History

The company has been dealing with educating the adult public for nearly 20 years. The headquarters can be found in Szeged, Hungary. One of the greatest motivations behind creating USIS.me was that one of the owners taught and researched in a university, where she was able to get to know and to experience both the hardships and the beauty, the possibilities and the challenges equally, of higher education. It is not an easy task to choose the course of continuing education for youngsters. Many times it is hard to choose the direction of the studies, but also is hard to find the university where one becomes a university student. In an answer to these hardships, USIS.me is striving to give students secure support, know-how and expertise, in the framework of our complete service.

Mission

On one hand, the mission of the system is to make transparent the higher education courses in the world. On the other hand our mission is to make it price/value relations translucent for everyone, so that one can find the most suitable University of College for themselves.

After a free registration, the visitor can search among BA/BSC, MA/MSC, PhD, and other types of trainings, from 141 countries.

Besides the information pertaining to courses of training, all necessary information can be found on the site, with the help of which the prospective student can make the best, most educated decision about their future studies. (E.g. country and city descriptions, pictures, videos, visa applications, etc.)

Problem

The problem pertains to three segments:

It is difficult to reach the different course offers of higher education institutions for the youngsters who would like to study – at worldwide destinations, through a unified system- on which platform they can start their applications in a simple way.

The 20.000 relevant institutions cannot make visible their course offers for the potential market, their application process is complicated and complex.

Students choose their higher studies mainly through local agents, offline. The agencies can develop cooperation with a limited amount of institutions, thus they cannot offer help and solutions, to a significant number of students who would like to apply through them. Also, the agents providing one-sided information may limit the opportunity available to students.
